Najib hit by another bombshell

Government documents shows Najib's hand in RM 1 billion tender award

After having been hit by a Scorpene's "torpedoe", Najib who hasn't even recovered yet is now being hit by another bombshell. PKR's strategy director Rafizi Ramli has today released government documents proving Najib has interfered in the award of the RM1 billion Ampang Line LRT extension project.

It looks like BN has no choice now but to find a a new leader for the impending general election as otherwise Najib will drag the whole BN into a Titanic scale sinking. Don't expect Najib to answer these accusations though - he still hasn't figured out how to cover up for his good friend Razak Baginda and he has a lot to answer for the Malaysian public.

Asia Sentinel: Najib's Scorpene scandal could not have happened without Dr M knowing

The 133 official documents uploaded onto Asia Sentinel are from the Directorate-General of the French National Police and the Judicial Police Directorate’s anti-organized and financial crimes unit. They were presented to a French anti-corruption court in May and June of 2011. Taken together, they present –in French – the clearest picture to date of the two-decade campaign by the French state-owned defense manufacturer DCN and its subsidiaries to sell Scorpene submarines to the Malaysian Ministry of Defense.

Sabah CM in shocking graft allegation

Millions of Sabahan money channeled to Swiss Bank Account

I wonder why we keep reading about Penang CM on almost every page and every day in The Star but all this while Sabah's CM has been quietly channeling Sabahan money out to a Swiss bank account. It seems our government's media are only interested in Opposition CMs but if you belong to BN it is completely OK to be involved in corruption as you will not get prosecuted and the papers also won't write about you! Now you know why we only read about clean PR politicians but the dirty politicians from BN are never revealed by the BN controlled media.

No respect for MCA from Muhyiddin

Muhyiddin takes MCA for a ride

And we thought only the Chinese dislikes MCA. DPM Muhyiddin also has no respect for them as he changes his mind on Chinese independent schools in Johor. One day he says no, next day he says yes. And MCA (and MIC) follows him around like a goat waiting to be fed scraps.

Najib's reputation hits new lows

Malaysia's "reformist" PM seeks to prosecute protesters

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak appears determined to give himself a political black eye.

On June 13, government prosecutors will haul into court 10 leaders of Bersih, a coalition of civil society groups campaigning to clean up the country’s corrupt elections commission. The government is demanding damages for destruction to public property during a clash between Bersih demonstrators and police in Kuala Lumpur on April 28. At least 100,000 people marched for clean elections in the Malaysian capital that day, while tens of thousands more joined protests in 11 other cities across the country and 80 cities around the world.

Whether or not the government wins compensation in court, however, no amount of money will undo the damage it is inflicting upon its own reputation by pursuing the case.

Keenly aware of the escalating problems, Najib has tried to present himself as a reformer. The steps he has taken so far, however, haven’t done much to improve BN’s image as increasingly corrupt, ill-equipped to deal with global economic complexities and out of touch with the aspirations of significant segments of the population.

In 2008, BN was shocked when opposition parties captured five of the country’s 13 states in national elections—the worst showing in the coalition’s history. If voters are more dissatisfied now, they are also more frustrated: few can see how real change can be achieved as long as the BN controls access to the media and elections continue to be riddled with irregularities.

Najib’s attempts at reform “ring hollow when the electoral system remains flawed,” Datuk Ambiga Sreenavasan, Bersih chairperson one of the defendants in the case brought by the government, tells TIME. “The stark reality is that genuine reform will not benefit those in power.”

This MCA Lady earns my respect

MCA Wanita chief Kian Sit Har a woman of substance

I have said many bad things about MCA in the past and so I was surprised to read about an MCA Chief, a lady no less, who took part in the recent Bersih rally.

This is what she said when questioned about her involvement in the rally:

"Nowadays, we cannot be neutral. We have to choose between right and wrong. The party may have its stand, but we must take the side of justice. We cannot just follow faithfully if BN or MCA is doing something wrong. If you think something is wrong, then we must voice it out. Right is right, wrong is wrong; we must not be afraid (to speak out)," she said in an interview with Malaysiakini at her Malacca office last week.



She has also reported that Malacca CM Ali Rustam has asked her to resign from her post, and her boss in MCA never backed her up (not surprising, that one).

If only MCA had more people like her to fight for what is right. Don't just fight for the Chinese (that is just too racist) but fight for all Malaysians, ok?

Madam Kian, I take my hat off to you!

UMNO fights back using their butts

UMNO butt squad shows how easy it is to fight off the enemy

No brains? No ideas? Well you can always show your butt off if you run out of things to say or if you run out of ammo I guess. This must be our army's new tactical training in case you run out of ammunition. Show your butt and the enemy will run. Unfortunately they didn't think (or sorry, you are not supposed to think) what would happen if the enemy suddenly offers you a drink.


Now, 1,2,3 bend over ... and watch out for Anwar!

Well if you didn't want to listen to them live in KL, as PM of Malaysia you can always use the people's money to watch them LIVE in London's exclusive O2 arena! PM Najib made full use of his recent trip to London to listen to LIVE demonstration of Bersih by their supporters in London. Knowing very well that since Najib missed their "live performance" in KL, Bersih supporters in London were out in full force to show their appreciation to Najib for spending USD 3 million to help the British economy recover!

Gerakan to manage UMNO in Penang

Gerakan to unleash Teng Chang Yeow on UMNO

Newly elected Penang state BN chief Teng Chang Yeow, has taken the bull (remember Cow Story?) by the horns by stating that Gerakan will now manage UMNO in Penang. After being totally obliterated during the 2008 political tsunami Teng has vowed to make Gerakan take control of "out-of-control" UMNO and vowed to do the same to MIC and MCA if they ever step out of line.



Well known for his ability to (er..., please fill in the blank for me here) Teng will now make UMNO do what he wants them to do and make sure they do not do anything silly like making funeral arrangements for present Penang CM and stepping on the photo of past chief ministers.

Teng will also ensure that UMNO do not become a racist party and uphold good human rights principles like the rest of the citizens in this country who are able to assemble peacefully despite being assaulted by riot police with tear gas and batons.

Teng will also ensure that no headless chicken, pork or beef will be strewn around religious places e.g. temples and mosques and no fires to be lighted near churches or inside churches using Molotov cocktails.

If UMNO decides to give contracts to spouses of ministers and parliamentarians Teng will rise to the occasion and call for MORE EVEN distribution between the component parties as well as claimed by one of their ex-ministers that "all the other ministers are the same" and so there should be fair distribution to all no matter what party he/she belongs to.

If UMNO decide to elect a new commisioner for the Election Council, Teng will ensure that his past membership record in UMNO will be completely erased from the face of the earth lest that it be discovered by some mischievous souls from PKR.

And if a royal commission or an independent committee is to be formed by someone close to UMNO, Teng will not sleep until he closely vets their relationship to UMNO i.e. check what are the positions they have been given to him/her by UMNO in the past e.g. if they have been given a directorship in Genting and whether the company is "halal"or not.

The people of Penang should now sleep more soundly knowing this invaluable fact.

LIVE: Report from Malaysiakini.com


Malaysian police fired tear gas and water cannon in clashes with thousands of protesters demanding electoral reforms on Saturday, raising the risk of a political backlash that could delay national polls which had been expected within months.






Riot police reacted after some protesters among the crowd of at least 25,000 tried to break through barriers, in defiance of a court order banning them from entering the city's historic Merdeka Square. They fired several dozen tear gas rounds, sending the protesters scattering through nearby streets.

“They also made it illegal to protest in Merdeka Square,” Welsh said. “Why? Because it’s just like Tahrir Square in Egypt.”

Najib's government unsure how to handle a nationwide protest

Malaysian protesters demanding fair elections plan to rally 100,000 people tomorrow without government permission in a test of Prime Minister Najib Razak’s pledge to allow greater freedom ahead of a national vote.

The Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections, or Bersih, vowed to go forward with the demonstration at Kuala Lumpur’s Independence Square, according to steering committee member Maria Chin Abdullah. City officials last night ordered the open- air space closed today and tomorrow, risking clashes similar to those that marred a Bersih protest last year.



The order to close the square “doesn’t make any difference,” Maria said by phone today. “We will proceed.”

"For many years, I felt a sense of helplessness and frustration as I followed Malaysian current affairs and saw the country I grew up in stuck in a downward spiral of poor governance and deteriorating civil liberties and human rights. What really got to me was the complete waste of potential – Malaysia was and remains a beautiful country – rich in natural resources, great weather, fantastic cuisine and diverse culture. It has a small population of 28 million people that could enjoy a world class healthcare and education system if the money spent on hapless vanity projects and siphoned off to fund the multimillionaire lifestyles of government ministers was spent on improving the lives of the rakyat." - Yolanda Augustin
